Nightstand: The Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce. Rereading because I just read her new book about Briar and Rosethorn (Battle Magic) and one book of Briar is never enough.
Coffee table: Fire by Kristen Cashore. LOVE this book. Rereading to research for a Book Riot post.
Kindle: Graceling by Kristen Cashore. Sensing a pattern?
Audiobook: In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce. YA all around!
Internets:

Didn’t know there was a new Briar book out! He’s my daughter’s favorite character in the Winding Circle so I know what she’s getting for Christmas! Thank you!
Your daughter is a lady of excellent taste. I’m a Briar fan too. Battle Magic just came out a few weeks ago – it’ll be a fabulous Christmas present!
